Minus 9 to 5
A New Formula for Hampton Roads’ Youngest Residents
From the time a mother finds out she is pregnant through the child’s fifth birthday, there are many excellent services and programs that serve nearly 75,000 children and families throughout Hampton Roads. Unfortunately, access to these programs and services, and the information provided, is not uniform across all demographics. Not all of the hospitals, clinics, providers, and community services set up to help mothers, babies, and families provide the same health care or health information.
Minus 9 to 5 is a network of multi-disciplinary providers, hospitals, clinics, and advocates committed to creating an impact. On this site you will find out more about what challenges we face collectively, partnering groups committed to creating uniformed health care, and programs established to help mother, babies, and families.
Minus 9 to 5 is a collective impact initiative of the M. Foscue Brock Institute for Community and Global Health, housed in the Department of Pediatrics, Eastern Virginia Medical School.
